Mini Piling

Mini Piling is a quick, cost-effective solution to the majority of groundwork and foundation problems.

What Is Mini Piling?

Piling is required when the ground area for an extension or build is not strong enough to hold the weight of the new structure. By drilling mini piles into the area, Basetec Piling can provide a strong, stable foundation for your building project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contacted Jim for a quote for piling for a single storey extension. He arrived at the time arranged. Was professional throughout the visit, explained what was required and how his company would achieve it. A competitive price was given and a start date agreed. The work was carried out to a high standard with very little disruption to the site. Would highly recommend Basetec piling.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was thrilled with the work Jim and his team did for me. I was trying to sell my house and it came up in the survey that the porch would need underpinning. I spoke to Jim and he came out the following day to make an assessment. They carried out the work very quickly and professionally as time was important for me. I would highly recommend them.

The Mini Piling Process

We follow a traditional piling method, including the below steps:

Preparation

mini piling preparation

Usually, foundation trenches will be dug by your builder. However, if not, we are happy to dig the foundation trench.

This trench provides space for the mini piles.

Installing The Mini Piles

Following the designs of our structural engineer, we will then install the mini piles and drive them to “set”. Essentially, this entails driving the piles through the ground until they cannot be go any lower.

Cutting The Mini Piles

We then cut the mini piles to the required height. Following this, we place reinforced steel beams on top and tie them securely to the original bars.

Securing The Structure

Following the installation of mini piles, we then place shutters around the side and bottom of the excavation. This forms a neat, solid structure for the concrete.

Building Inspection

At this stage, we will contact the building inspector. He will look at the structural engineers drawings and check the piles and beams are installed in agreement with these.

Concreting

Once we have approval from the building inspector, we will pour concrete over the piles and beams.
